hmmm.... as a 1994 RX7 and 2000 S4 owner, I'll suggest that the rotary is
pleanty reliable. IMHO most of the problems one hears about with the
rotary are due to improper modifications.
I have done two - 2 week cross country drives across the US in that
car, driving about 1000 miles per day (~15K per trip). I'd
trust that car to get me just about anywhere (blizzard exclusion applies).
I have about 100k on it now. Never an engine problem, and the smoothness
of the engine is incredible. At the time I purchased it, it was the
closest thing to a bike I could find. These days, perhaps that new lotus
would be a favorable choice...
